My background is in masonry restoration with an emphasis on historic preservation and repair. A love of history and older architectural styles is what drew me into the building trades. Now, as a home inspector, I want to share my knowledge with clients looking to buy an older home. 

 

Older and historic homes weren’t necessarily built to modern standards, and they need to be inspected differently than a modern house. Inspecting a historic home requires a specialized, in-depth approach focusing on structural integrity, safety, and knowledge of older materials and practices rather than modern code compliance.

 

If you’re looking to purchase an older home, especially one with a masonry foundation and chimneys, please give me a call at (540) 270-2501.
